Fred was naturally unhappy to be ignored. He lowered his

“Get lost! Don’t try to cozy up to me Angel snapped, rolling her eyes and walking away without a second thought. <b>She </b>had recognized Fred, but she was well aware of the Grant family’s dirty dealings, especially <b>Fred’s </b>notorious reputation in Kranson City<b>. </b>Seeing him made her feel disgusted. Fred <b>was </b><b>already </b>filled with anger. Now, he <b>was </b>further humiliated by Angel’s outburst. He had always been overshadowed by Matthew at thepany, but he hadn’t expected to be disrespected by <b>a </b>mere actress here.
Despite being the daughter of the Santos family, Angel was just a vase <b>to </b>Fred, a useless decorative piece. Now, she dared to speak to him so rudely just because of Matthew.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
“That bitch” Fred clenched his fists, pulling out his phone with a cold smile. “Angel, you forced my hand. Don’t me me for not giving you a chance. me Matthew instead.”

There was a small wooden house in the backyard, which <b>served </b>as her private painting studio. <b>Now</b>, if she were to go to the backyard and see therge tree, it would remind her of Sarah.

Angel apanied <b>Olivia </b>in seeing off thest guests was exhausted by the end. Thinking she could finally leave, she heaved <b>a </b>sigh of relief and bid farewell to Olivia. As she stepped out, dusk had fallen,
Olivia wanted to keep her for the night, but Angel thought Matthew had probably gone to find Valerie. This thought made <b>her </b><b>so </b>angry that she couldn’t <b>stay</b>. She insisted on leaving.
“I won’t keep you here if you want to leave. Be careful on the road, Olivia <b>said</b>.
“Don’t worry, Olivia. I’lle to keep youpany in the next day or two Angel said coquettishly before leaving. She pulled out her phone to make a call when she saw a car approaching.
She moved aside to let it pass, but the car veered slightly off course, startling her. She stepped on the elerator, but a sharp braking sound cut through the night.
Her car was hit<b>, </b>and Angel was furious.
Her mood <b>had </b>already been sour today, and this was her new car. Angered, she got out of her <b>car </b>to inspect the damage when a young man stepped out from the other vehicle. It was too dark to see his face <b>clearly</b>. Angel was about to shout in anger when she noticed a cold smile on the man’s lips.
The smile sent a chill down Angel’s spine. She was about to return to her car when the <b>man </b>moved swiftly. He immediately covered her mouth and dragged her into a van, blindfolding and <b>tying </b>her up.
Another man jumped out of the van, and they drove off,
, one car leading and the <b>other </b>following.
They clearly knew the area well, having likely scouted it beforehand. After winding through the roads down the mountain, they soon disappeared into the night.
The night was as ck as ink, making it seem like nothing had happened.

She <b>was </b>supposed to leave on her scooter, but halfway through her ride, she heard a honk behind her. Matthew had somehow followed her and insisted she get into his car.
She hadn’t stopped her scooter, but Matthew still managed to block her <b>path</b>.
She thought, ‘So what if you have <b>a </b><b>car</b>!‘

Matthew folded down the back seat<b>, </b>stashed the scooter in the back of the car, and drove down the mountain.
He thought Valerie had fallen <b>asleep</b>, but when he nced up, he saw her reflection in the car window. Her cheeks were puffed up like a cartoon character, making him want to <b>pinch </b>her.
“Don’t be angry. I’m <b>taking</b>
ing you to see something.” he <b>said</b>.
Just before heading down the mountain, Charles had sent him <b>a </b>message. They parked the <b>car </b>at the park in front of Slotmond Estate.
Valerie listened in a daze, but since she was already in his car, she couldn’t run anywhere. So she nodded. However, Matthew still acted mysterious, When they <b>arrived</b>, just as she was about to get out, her vision went ck. Something cold was ced over her eyes.
She took a moment to realize that it was his tic. She was confused. ‘Why is he covering g my eyes with his tie?!
“Come with me.” Inplete <b>darkness</b>, Matthew’s voice became particrly clear and deep. Valerie felt her hands enveloped by warm,rge hands. She had to follow his footsteps carefully because she couldn’t see anything.
Even so, she identally stepped on his feet However, Matthew didn’t get angry. They walked for about twenty<b>–</b>something <b>steps</b>, <b>and </b>Valerie vaguely heard the sound of music ying
